SCHEDULE A <br /> HCPD Roadblock Program <br /> AL04-02 (01-H-02) <br /> MISSION/GOAL <br /> The goal of this program is to reduce the number of alcohol related traffic fatalities and <br /> injuries, to increase public awareness, and to provide a constant deterrence against drunk <br /> driving by conducting DUI checkpoints on our highways. <br /> STRATEGIES <br /> 1. Establish about 100 sobriety checkpoints with grant funds and 60 sobriety <br /> checkpoints with county funds, establishing checkpoints on all major holidays. <br /> 2. Affect about 50 arrests for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) of Alcohol or Drugs at <br /> grant funded checkpoints and 37 DUI arrests at county funded checkpoints. <br /> 3_ Affect approximately 100 arrests for other violations at grant funded checkpoints and <br /> 75 arrests at county funded checkpoints. <br /> 4. Issue about 250 citations for violations at grant funded checkpoints and 185 citations <br /> at county funded checkpoints. <br /> 5. Screen an estimated 25,000 vehicles while on grant-funded projects and 15,000 <br /> vehicles at county funded checkpoints. <br /> 6. Purchase eight 35mm cameras for use by our Traffic Enforcement Unit in alcohol <br /> involved traffic crashes involving injuries or fatalities. <br /> 7. Purchase six Turboflare Portable Emergency Lighting Kits for use by police <br /> officers at DUI checkpoints in each of the eight police districts. <br /> 8. Attend Lifesavers traffic safety conference_ <br /> 9. Attend annual Drug Alcohol Impaired Driving (DRE) Seminar. <br /> 10. Attend four quarterly Statewide Traffic Commanders Meetings. <br /> <br /> The Statewide Traffic Commanders Coalition has agreed that DUI deterrence and the use <br /> <br /> of sobriety _checkpoints should be coordinated statewide. <br /> SOLUTION/IMPLEMENTATION <br /> <br /> Police personnel, on overtime, will conduct DUI checkpoints to supplement the DUI <br /> <br /> enforcement efforts currently conducted by our Department. Officers will attend the <br /> <br /> Lifesavers Conference, DRE Conference, and Statewide Traffic Commanders Meetings <br /> <br /> to remain knowledgeable of successful programs, models and best practices, identify new <br /> <br /> and innovative strategies to reduce traffic deaths and injuries, and to coordinate <br /> <br /> enforcement efforts on a statewide level and to coincide with National campaigns. <br /> <br /> Additionally, equipment will be purchased to improve alcohol related fatal crash <br /> investigations and prosecutions. <br /> <br />
